Here we will show you step by step how to determine the correct height, width and recesses for the sockets and what points you need to consider when measuring. This is important if you plan your kitchen back wall in a corner. It's best to make a rough sketch; we'll transfer the exact dimensions to scale based on your measurements.
You can also enter the socket cutouts or recesses. For multiple sockets, it is sufficient to measure the left socket. Since the sockets have a standardized size, we can calculate the rest.

Step 1: Preparation
Thoroughly clear the kitchen back wall of objects and decorations. You will need a ruler or tape measure, a pencil and a notepad or paper.
Step 2: Measure width
Start at one corner of the kitchen and measure the entire width of the back wall from left to right. Hold the tape measure or ruler straight and record the width in centimeters or millimeters.
Step 3: Measure height
Go to the same corner and measure the height of the back wall from the countertop to the bottom of the upper cabinets. Make sure the tape measure is level. Note the height.
Measure L- or U-shaped kitchens
Accurate measurement is crucial to creating a suitable L- or U-shaped kitchen backsplash. Pay attention to the plate thicknesses to achieve a perfect result. This step is also important if you want to assemble two or more panels together with a continuous motif. Pay attention to the direction of the motif and possibly repetition.
Step 4: Measure sockets
All you have to do is tell us the socket locations and we will make sure the cutouts are placed in exactly the right places. To measure the sockets on your kitchen back wall, please follow the following instructions:
Measure the distance from the bottom edge of the back wall to the center of each electrical outlet. Note the height of each outlet. Repeat the same for the width. Measure from your starting point (left or right side) to the center of your outlet. Since sockets are standardized, we can calculate the rest, even for multiple sockets.
Step 5: Create Detailed Sketch
Draw a detailed sketch of the kitchen backsplash with dimensions, socket locations, and irregular shapes.
Step 6: Verify measurements
Go through all measurements and the sketch carefully to avoid mistakes. Correct if necessary and check again.
Step 7: Professional help
If you are uncertain or have complex requirements, we recommend consulting a specialist for precise results.
With these instructions you should be able to measure the kitchen back wall correctly, especially if you want to mount two panels together with a continuous motif. Accuracy and care are important in order to later obtain an aesthetically pleasing and precisely fitting kitchen back wall. Good luck with your project!
